Satisfaction Rate in Geriatrics with Ankle Sprain to Facilitate Movement with Kinesio-Taping
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Ankle sprain is a common musculoskeletal injury characterized by damage to the
ligaments supporting the ankle joint, often caused by an inversion trauma. This injury the ligament, leading to
acute soft tissue swelling, pain, and potential instability in the long term. This study aims to determine satisfaction
rate in geriatrics with ankle sprain to facilitate movement with kinesio taping. Kinesio taping is a therapeutic
technique used in physiotherapy and rehabilitation to support injured muscles, relieve pain and prevent injury.
To determine satisfaction rate in geriatrics with ankle sprain to facilitate movement with kinesio taping.
METHODOLOGY: A cross sectional study with the sample size of 289 patients with ankle sprain were recruited
from the age group 55 to 70 years. SPSS version 27.0 was used for data analysis. Study completed in 6 months
and a convenience sampling technique is used. The inclusion criteria for present study consider all Geriatric
patient with ankle sprain and age between 55 to 70 years and exclusion criteria was Participants having history
of red flags.
RESULTS: In current study, 289 individuals with the male participants are 54.1% and a female participant are
45.5% having a mean of 1.8 and standard deviation of 0.769. Thus it could be proving that the k taping is somehow
beneficial if use alone but with manual therapy its progressiveness enhances and ankle sprain improves also
with a rapid rate.
CONCLUSION: The study concludes that satisfaction rate in geriatrics with ankle sprain to facilitate movements
with kinesio taping is 47.2% and 25.5% have neutral review about kinesio- taping respectively. Thus it could be
proving that the k taping is somehow beneficial if use alone but with manual therapy its progressiveness enhances
and ankle instability improves also with a rapid rate.
